NordVPN has killed their warrant canary

My read is that it was more about the stuff he was calling out as legitimate[1] use-cases (which iirc included piracy).

ETA: I'm surprised these providers are even able to market with the use-case of evading geo-locking without getting sued (tbc I'm against drm in general and geo-locking in particular)

[1] from the standpoint of, "is this a good reason to use a vpn", not "does society/the law consider this a legitimate thing to do"

I doubt it is against the laws where the provider is located.

Geo-locking isn't a law. It might have been part of the tpp that the US never signed.

Certain marketplaces don't allow vpn advertising or wording like that.

In reality they act as a Canadian store selling drugs to the US customers at a discount.
